    Hi. Are you formating the column to build the map. There are some ways to help the engine rendering maps. Let me tell you about two.

    One would be adding country as father hierarchy on the map and expanding next level to states. That way the visual understands that it comes first country and then states. This same scenario was done creating a single new column like [Country], [State] some years ago before we were able to make map hierarchy (just in case).

    The second one is categorizing the state column as state in Power Bi Desktop. The columns can have categories. It's not all about types. In those categories you can pick the correct one for the column (state).

    I hope one of those helps,
